Jimmy is awesome, he does everything, he does it really well, and his peers like him. This volume contains great stories, but even more, stupendous photography, maybe the best photo spread by a mountaineer since Galen Rowell. Highly recommended.

Beautiful accent on our coffee table

"There and Back: Photographs from the Edge" exceeded my expectations in every way. I am a recreational climber, and have been aware of Jimmy Chin's athletic and photographic talents for some time. That being said, I still underestimated this book.I ordered it thinking it would be an excellent coffee table book, to casually flip through some fantastic scenic shots on occasion. Don't get me wrong, it is that, but it's so much more.The book has stories with a story, with the overarching tale being that of Jimmy's professional career. Following your heart can take you to unthought of places, and it's always inspirational to see someone turn their passion into their paycheck.The individual expeditions reveal more about his character, his growth, and the vast corners of the planet that are the subjects of his art. I bought this as a picture book, but I soon found myself reading all of the text, absorbing the stories behind the pictures, and shaking my head in wonder at the efforts to produce them. I would say it was Herculean, but Hercules' feats pale in comparison. Let's see him clean stables at 4,000 feet and -50 below!I highly recommend this for anyone, climber or not. Even if you're just looking for a picture book with cool scenery, it's a perfect choice, especially because it brings so much more to the [coffee] table.

Like most of us I had been waiting for this for months.. finally it came. Well worth the wait; some real stunners and great stories. Some folks have had issue with damage to the book; mine was fine; however I will say that the actual construction of the book needs work.. paper choice and such; but the PHOTOS ARE almost darn near perfect!

Bought this photo book solely because it's Jimmy Chen. Not disappointed and well-worth the money.
